Before I had naively assumed that if an AI safety researcher earned say $50k per year then donating that much per year would have an equivalent impact.
So for me reading this post was an update toward the value of doing AI safety research directly rather than donating money to the field.
Really great article. Thank you for writing it.

How so?
As I read it this post compares to donations to Givewell, not to donations to AI safety research.
Oh right, thanks for pointing that out!
